Former Law Enforcement Armed Officer

Armed Officer in San Francisco $104,000.00 to $114,000.00

•             Must have 6+ years Law Enforcement Experience

•             Must have Armed Guard License

•             Must have CCW

•             Have a reliable means of transportation 

Position Overview

A discreet, hospitality-forward protective presence across the campus — a polished building professional with high situational awareness, judgment, and readiness. Value comes from anticipation, relationship-building, and de-escalation, not visible enforcement or tactical presentation. The firearm is an emergency protective tool, not the identity of the role.

Role Purpose

• Provide discreet protective capability within a high-profile Class A office campus

• Identify and communicate emerging concerns before they become incidents

• Coordinate with Building Management, Director of Security, SOC, Securitas, law enforcement, and visiting protective details

• Provide trained protective response during serious security or life-safety events

Reporting Structure & Authority

• Non-supervisory specialist role; does not manage Securitas or replace the Director of Security

• Coordinates daily with the Director of Security; supports, never competes with, visiting protective details or public-safety agencies on scene

Core Responsibilities

• Hospitality & Protective Presence — polished presence in lobbies/common areas; engage naturally while remaining alert; de-escalate via courtesy and redirection

• Situational Awareness — continuously assess for pre-incident indicators; report verified observations promptly to the Director of Security/SOC

• Executive/VIP & Protective Detail Coordination — support senior executive and official visits; coordinate access/routes; defer to lead protective operation

• Incident & Emergency Response — respond to medical, fire/life-safety, threat, and violent-behavior events; force only when legally justified, necessary, and proportionate; not a detention/enforcement role

• Communication & Reporting — maintain contemporaneous notes; complete Daily Activity Reports; immediately report any use of force or firearm display

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years in law enforcement, federal protective services, executive protection, military protective operations, or high-profile corporate security

• Plainclothes/low-profile protective experience in a civilian setting strongly preferred

• Documented firearms proficiency and a record of professional restraint and judgment

• Strong interpersonal presence with executives, tenants, and law enforcement without a tactical posture

• Excellent written/verbal communication; current CPR/AED and First Aid (or obtainable before assignment)

California Licensing & Armed Assignment Requirements

• Current CA BSIS Security Guard Registration (when performed as a registered guard) and BSIS Firearms Permit matching carried caliber

• For concealed carry in civilian clothes: valid CA CCW or qualifying peace-officer concealed-carry authority

• Current firearms requalification/training; compliance with all site-specific carry restrictions and post orders

Preferred Qualifications

• Executive/dignitary-protection experience; federal, state, or local law-enforcement background

• CA POST Intermediate Certificate, formal EP training, or ASIS CPP/PSP certification

• Experience in Class A office towers or high-profile public-facing properties; SF public-safety/protest-planning familiarity

Professional Standards — Non-Negotiable

• Hospitality first, security always: professional, calm, and respectful in routine interactions

• Business-professional attire — no tactical clothing, exposed holster, or visible security indicators; concealed means concealed

• No implication of police powers beyond those actually held by law; strict discretion on tenants, VIPs, and operations

• De-escalation and coordination are the default; unilateral enforcement is not
